Sharks won't spring Chris Leak without a trade

Team open to a trade for former Florida QB, who left after demotion

For a while Monday, the Orlando Predators were touting Chris Leak as their new quarterback. The problem was, he still was on the Jacksonville Sharks roster, and he technically remained a Jacksonville Shark on Tuesday.

Leak led the Florida Gators to the 2006 national championship, but he’s bounced around several leagues since before winding up on the Sharks roster in the fall.

He played one game, and then left the team after being demoted to second team.

Orlando sent out a release Monday saying it had signed him. Hours later, Jacksonville squashed the deal.

Leak has been assigned to the reserve list. Jacksonville, however, remains open to trade offers.

“If the Predators want Leak, they have coach [Les] Moss’ number and we will be more than happy to trade him,” Sharks managing partner Jeff Bouchy said. “We cannot see any scenario in which Leak will wear a Sharks uniform again.”
